The XCOM hype continues to build. Earlier today, we found out about some mysterious marketing materials that could be pointing to a rebranded XCOM shooter. Now a new video from "Veritas MCMLXII" has shown up calling the Russian meteor from February of this year a cover up.

Looking closely at the source code page for the video, you will find the traditional conspiracy, cover up, and informant keywords, but also there is whathappenedin62, which incidentally is one of the domains registered by Take-Two Interactive, publisher of the XCOM series.

Also, for those who didn't catch it, Veritas is Latin for truth, and the Roman numerals are 1962. Veritas is also a popular radio network devoted to UFO paranormal activity.

The truth is out there, and probably coming soon.
